Congratulations Ollie,
You are one of the successful "carrots" dangling in front of me keeping me going.
Merry Christmas!

Ollie,

I'm betting that the "just fit" clothes are going to be tooo big for the trip!  Go back down to that closet and find things that are "Just too tight" and those will be the ones that you take with you.

Ollie,  I know I have loved shopping for new clothes after my closet was emptied because nothing fit any more.  It's a wonderful LDL moment -- enjoy shopping!

Yeah for you Ollie! I got rid of my too small clothes before LDL as I just knew I would never ever loose an once! Boy was I wrong. I went from a tight size 18 to size 12. It sure is fun buying those smaller sizes.
Enjoy,

Thanks Beth Ann. This is the smallest I've been in over 20 yrs. I'm going on a cruise in March to the South Caribbean. My summer clothes are all too big so I've been hitting the stores looking for clothes for the cruise. Most of the spring & summer stuff is not out yet in our area.

When I went to Australia last February, I went on line and bought capris.  Kohl's, Chico's had great deals.  I went back on line over  this past Christmas, and they had great prices and variety.  You may want to check it out!!!  *hug* JF

Ollie, you are a tremendous testimony!  I know Katie has done phenomenal with losing over 140 lbs. in a year, but it is amazing that those of us over 50 can still lose weight at a faster rate than we thought possible with LDL.  A friend of mine lost about 70 lbs. in a year and she is in her mid 40s.  She's weighing less than she has since a teenager.  I ost 50 lbs. in 6 months.  The best part is that we can keep it off!  We are all looking forward to hearing all about your cruise.  Have a wonderful time preparing for it, and then of course going on it!

I finally got to move my ticker this morning. It's been a month taking that one lb off. Hope the last 2 lbs will give up and get out of here. Leaving on a cruise in March and want to be at goal before I go!!!
